1. Which of the following statements best summarizes the central purpose of this text?

• A. Gulliver details his experiences and interactions with the natives of the new land.
• B. Gulliver observes the unique customs and traditions of the society he encounters.
• C. Gulliver becomes acquainted with the people and practices of his new surroundings.
• D. Gulliver reflects on the cultural differences between his homeland and the new land.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the text describes how Gulliver becomes familiar with the customs and practices of the new society he finds himself in. He interacts with the natives, learns their language, and participates in their shows, indicating his growing understanding and acceptance of the new culture. Choice A is incorrect because the text goes beyond detailing his experiences to focus on his growing familiarity with the society. Choice B is incorrect because Gulliver not only observes but actively engages with the customs. Choice D is incorrect as the focus is on Gulliver's adaptation rather than reflecting on cultural differences.

2. Which of the following labels best describes the previous passage?

• A. comparison essay
• B. definition essay
• C. cause and effect essay
• D. persuasive essay

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The passage delves into the relationship between magnesium intake and health outcomes, highlighting how deficiencies in magnesium can lead to various health issues. It discusses how different factors, such as gastrointestinal disorders or dietary habits, can cause magnesium depletion and its subsequent effects on the body. This focus on exploring the cause-and-effect connections between magnesium levels and health conditions aligns with the characteristics of a cause and effect essay, making choice C the most appropriate. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the passage does not focus on comparing different concepts, providing definitions, or persuading the reader of a particular viewpoint.

3. While researching Chomsky's many theories and arguments, Teddy became interested in post-World War II anarchism. Which section of the library is the most likely to contain the relevant books?

• A. 000
• B. 200
• C. 300
• D. 900

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Since anarchism is a social science theory, it falls under the classification of social sciences in the Dewey Decimal System. Section 300 covers social sciences, making it the most suitable section for finding books related to post-World War II anarchism. Choice A (000 - Computer science), Choice B (200 - Religion), and Choice D (900 - History) are incorrect because they do not directly relate to social sciences where anarchism would be classified.

4. According to the essay, how were stories first communicated and passed down?

• A. oral tradition
• B. printed books
• C. technology
• D. handwriting

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The essay clearly states that before the invention of the printing press, stories were passed down through oral tradition. The extract mentions, 'For centuries before the invention of the printing press, stories of the world were passed down to generations through oral tradition.' This shows that oral tradition was the primary method of communicating stories before the introduction of printed books. Therefore, the correct answer is 'oral tradition.' Printed books (choice B) were introduced later with the invention of the printing press, as mentioned in the extract. 'Handwriting' (choice D) is not the first way stories were communicated, and 'technology' (choice C) is a broad term that does not specifically refer to the initial method of story communication.

5. What is the definition of the word haunt in the following passage?

• A. To levitate
• B. To constantly visit
• C. To terrorize
• D. To daunt

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In this context, 'haunt' means to constantly visit a place. Mr. Utterson is repeatedly going over the details of the situation in his mind, engaging with the problem persistently, as seen in the passage. The word does not imply levitation, terrorizing, or daunting in this context, making choices A, C, and D incorrect.
